He really said that?. Then he wants to become another Terry Mills or what?. If that's how he feel, I say we're better off trading him...

If he, Murphy, doesn't like playing inside, then who on this current roster will put on the hard hat and play physical basketball? For the money that he is making, he should work on becoming a complete basketball player. If Murphy really said that, then his attitude about being a professional pales in comparison (no racial pun intended) to Artest.

looks like this artest crap is dragging out for a longer ride than expected, and i say its not worth the wait if Walsh want to hold off for another couple weeks or "whenver he feels comfortable". If Walsh want to get rid Artest, then out of respect for the team, the league, do it asap. But if he want to drag it out, then i say the Warriors pass becuase this is riduculous waiting for the trade to happen who knows when.

Artest would help this team a hole lot he is not nearly as bad as alot of people make him out to be he is a loving father and in general a good person he plays with his emotions on his sleave. When British Knights dropped him last year they also decided not to donate basket ball shoes to Artests diffrent charitys and youth basketball programs so Artest stepped up and supplied all the kids shoes himself this is not an action of a complete idiot his problem is he sometimes acts before he thinks

Murphy + a filler is our most logical trade. Those who say Troy is a very good player but dosn't fit our team are right, He doesn't fit. High post, no defense, 3 point shooter. He fits the Pacers lineup better paired with O'Neal. Only problem is his contract.
Likely trade that would be better for the Pacers would be MP + CC + ZC; or MP + some other fillers straight up for Artest. That way the Pacers would get a Artest clone in MP and some expiring contracts. We could throw in 1-3 1st round picks [being we have 5 in the next 3 years] if needed.
That trade wouldn't kill us but I don't like losing MP.

Why do we have 5?. We got two from Dallas in the Dampier sign-and-trade, but later we sent one of those to Denver in the Najera trade (a completely retarded move...). Is there any other I can't remember right now?

TO does all those things, and still is an asshole and a cancer to his team... an asshole with a good heart, it seems.

Ron is nothing like TO being a life long pacer fan I have watched ron alot and read about everything about him. with Mullins and Davis in this org. you guys would not have any problems with Ron BD has known him since highschool if yall get lucky enough to get him you will love the guy trust me that

I wan't Artest. Mullin must do it. With Dun would be good but if that can't hapen i don't care, i want him. He is the kind of player that takes you 1 categorie higher. It might turn out bad, i don't care. No more watching other teams sign superstars and Warriors doing nothing. And he is a superstar. Everybody said signing davis was stupid. Look at him now.

your on the money Tron when is the last time the Warriors have been to the play offs I know it has to have been a long time I think you all will like Dunleavy alot more if he was coming off the bench Murph for Artest is a fair trade in my eyes for both teams Foster seams to be the hold up Indy is in love with Foster because he is a high effort guy but with the cba Artest for Murhpy does'nt work you guys need to throw in another guy Petrius seams to be the name that is always coming up Maybe if they do Artest/ Fred Jones for Murph/ Petrius but either way You all will be getting the better end of the deal. Being a Artest fan I really want him to go to golden state because I could be a warriors fan I don't have the stomach for many other teams in the western Conf. I am a Pacer fan first always but my number 2 team could be the Warriors I would rather die a slow death than ever route for the Lakers or most any other team
